It names two whole public schools that lost less than a dozen students altogether to better performing private schools because of the voucher program. As Yehoshua Bedrick writes in Jay P. Greene’s Blog:

In the name of civil rights, the Department of Justice is trying to prevent black families from exercising school choice.

Following on the heels of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s ridiculous lawsuit against Alabama’s new school choice law, which contends that if a law doesn’t help everyone it can’t help anyone, the U.S. Department of Justice is suing to block the state of Louisiana’s school voucher program for low-income students and students assigned to failing public schools.

A review by the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice confirms that private schools are more integrated than public schools, student performance is better, and students succeed at a fraction of what it costs to send children to public schools.

Better education through private schools and parental choice instead of an expensive government program? No wonder the Department of Justice wants to put a stop to all this.
